The last terrorists in Europe

I tried to post the news article on Emilio Gutierrez in El Pais on Digg but it got rejected because it was "widely reported".

I felt I had to inform them:



Hello! This case is the other way around!

I tried to submit
http://www.elpais.com/articulo/espana/maza/silencio/elpepuesp/20090228elpepunac_3/Tes
But I am told by your system that the article has been banned because: "This URL has been widely reported by users....."

This article is from the main Spanish newspaper "El Pais" and reports about a Emilio Gutiérrez who suffered a terrorist attack on his house in the Basque Country (as you may know the last and only place where there is still terrorism going on in Europe).
This obviously is not spam or off-topic (unless you consider european news as such).

The only "users" that would be interested in banning such an article are the terrorists themselves and their followers. They are extremists and fanatics and an absolute minority, but most probably ALL of them have been instructed to scam the web for any publication on Emilio Gutiérrez. That is the only reason why this article is "widely reported".
If in any way you want to help reduce terrorism, you should not ban the article, you should ban those users instead.
For further reference you can check the amount of supporting groups in favor of Emilio Gutiérrez at facebook, doing a search for his name. The biggest one has reached close to 20.000 supporters in just a few days:

Even voluntary fundraising has started up for Emilio in several places in Spain.

I am an expat from Holland, living in Spain (fortunately not the Basque Country), I am just an occasional user of Digg and have nothing to do either with Emilio or the Basque country, but as most ordinary world citizens I want justice to prevail and feel that the least I can do is to inform you that most surely your system has been misused by terrorists and their followers.

Thank you and warm regards from Seville, Spain.

Unfortunately is seems hard to find info on the whole story in english, just one for the moment
